Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Once your Zune is loaded with good stuff, you'll be ready to embrace wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing. Share full-length tracks of your favorite songs, albums, playlists, pictures, and even audio podcasts. You can listen to the full track of any song you receive up to three times. And you can even pass along songs that are shared with you to other friends. If you find a song you really love, you can easily add it to your wishlist and buy it later when you sync to your PC. When it comes to syncing and importing your music, the Zune makes it easy. Zune software can automatically import your existing music, pictures and videos from iTunes and Windows Media Player in a variety of formats, including your existing playlists and song ratings.

FM Radio, TV Shows, and More
The Zune will also automatically import TV shows or movies recorded using a PC running Windows Media Center in Windows Vista. Record all your favorites, sync to your Zune, and hit the road with your favorite TV shows right in your pocket. The Zune also features a built-in FM radio tuner so you can listen to local FM stations or tune in programming while you're at the gym. Advanced tuning capabilities allow you to see the name of the song currently playing on select frequencies. Another awesome feature is the Zune's compatibility with the Xbox 360. Plug your Zune into your Xbox 360 to customize the soundtrack in supported games. You can also stream music, pictures and vidoes from the Zune software on your PC to your Xbox 360 console using a wireless connection. Whether you're staying in or going out, travelling or working, the Zune can be right there with you, providing loads of entertainment direct from your pocket.

5 out of 5 stars

Highly recommend the Zune! November 23, 2008
I was recently in the market to upgrade my no-name, cheaply-made 1g mp3 player, and was originally going to get an ipod nano. I researched both and decided on the zune. Wireless sync is FANTASTIC, and I like being able to sort my music by artist, album, genre, or design my own playlists and autoplaylists. I'm also a little addicted to the social. Bonus features are the easy-to-read displays, custom backgrounds, radio, videos, file-sharing... the list goes on! Now I just need to convince my husband that I need an 80g too!

Wireless is a killer feature June 22, 2008

Ye, I know it's not an iPod and yes it is made by Microsoft but if you can get past that then the Zune is really a great MP3 player. Wireless sync and sending are brilliant and well executed, and the desktop software is stylish and easy to use. The whole social paradigm sets the Zune apart from other players.

I haven't used the 80GB but the 8GB is perfect for at the gym.The main drawbacks I can see are the lack of Apple compatability which is unlikely to arrive soon and the lack of DivX support. It would be great to able to watch my television shows on the way to work. All of the main accessories such as cases and charges are available, however more third party support would be nice.

Good job all around though, and a nice feeling package. Hope to see you in the social
